Hi,

I have been trying to use a VSAM file (KSDS file) in CICS. I have mentioned the correct file in FCT. When I am trying to perform an action on the map ,behind which the CICS program runs to BROWSE the VSAM file, the return code is 19.

Can you please advise as to where I am going wrong?

cobcurious,

What is the Access mode for the vsam file? Status code of 19 means that your open mode or access mode is wrong

Hi Kolusu,

Sorry for sounding ignorant, I tried checking the access mode for the VSAM file. I have mentioned the access mode as VSAM and given appropriate read/write access. I using EXEC CICS READ function to browse the files.

Is there anything that I need to check?

Hi Kolusu,

Please ignore "access mode". It is specific to our system installation.

We are trying to read a VSAM file on CICS. How do you specify the access mode here on CICS?

Hi Kolusu,

The issue was because of the incorrect entry in the PCT table. The name of the program which in the PCT table was that of the program which was suppose to write to the VSAM file and I was assuming that I had added the program to read from the VSAM file.

When I changed the PCT entry, the program is now working fine. Thanks for your help anyways.
